About this course

A two-day short course, based on two semester-long graduate systems engineering courses, giving an overview of modelling and simulation across the systems engineering lifecycle: needs and opportunities analysis, concept exploration, design and development, integration and test and evaluation, production and sustainment. It also covers the US DoD Digital Engineering Strategy, UML and SysML, simulation interoperability (HLA and live-virtual-constructive simulation), collaborative environments, M&S repositories and modelling of natural and man-made environments. It is a broad overview rather than a deep dive.

Course presenters may include

  • James E. Coolahan, PhDChief Technology Officer, Coolahan Associates, LLC; retired from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

Facilitator details as listed by the provider. Assignments may vary by scheduled course.
